Sometimes I wonder why I read the comments here, there's so much negativity and pessimism everywhere. Reading the board is like an exercise in masochism.
Anyways, I am sad that they never released this game, even though ti was purportedly pretty much complete. This footage more so than the one here gives a much better view of what could've been.
Sure, EA's Battlefront isn't going to live up to that, but I can't blame them because they weren't involved in BF3, and the game we're getting now is still pretty good.

The problem with Battlefront is that its Battlefront. Needs to be more tactical like Battlefield. How could DICE screw something like that up? Oh wait, EA
So the problem with the game is that it's just like the game it's based off of? Oh wow...
Other than being 3rd person / 1st person shooter set in the Star Wars universe it doesn't have much more in common with the original Battlefront games - which were more or less Battlefield games with Star Wars skins.
Oh come off it, the original ones were just the same, you ran around and pew pew'd your lasers at enemies until someone one. I agree that there's less overall features in the new one, but the gameplay is really not that different core wise.

What people are referring to, regarding Battlefront III, I think are some of its ideas/mechanics/features - not its graphics. I think that part is pretty clear. Where-as the new Battlefront has pretty graphics with a totally gutted feature set in comparison, which to me seems more like a cash-in for the new movie hype until DICE moves on to something else.
I think it plays more to the idyllic dream or fantasy of a Star Wars game, the ability to transition from planet into space for example while really cool sounding might not play as well as one would imagine, at least not for a round based multiplayer game where matches are expected to last around thirty minutes to an hour. You could break it down in stages where you either start on the planet and transition up to a ship or vice versa, that might work.

I guess hardcore is lying on the tarmac with your knife out waiting six minutes for a jet to spawn out of thin air on top of you, pressing E the entire time because there's two other idiots just like you jumping around trying to get it first?
Not saying the coming retail one is without problems but this one looks pretty rough too. It looks like a BF1942 mod that's not working quite right yet.

Yeah it looks way better than the trite garbage they are going to release in a few weeks. For example no retarded power-ups. See how the dude actually walked up to the snowspeeder, hopped in and took off from the hangar? The way it is meant to be played.
EA/DICE can keep their fucking stupid casual garbage moron-friendly half-bred rip-off abortion of Battlefront.
